New Mac and Firefox Vulnerabilities

The Mac came under attack again this week for a vulnerability in Samba file sharing and a buffer overflow, all part of a total of 17 flaws patched this week.

But eWeek's David Morgenstern came to the venerable old Mac's defense in this column.

Firefox, another favorite of the security community, also came under scrutiny for vulnerabilities to its add-ons and through Google Desktop.
